Projects:

Vocational Training in Rehabilitative Workshops

The members work on a daily basis in Beit Elisha’s
workshops. The workshops provide vocational training in
weaving, papermaking, medicinal plants, pottery, cooking and
housekeeping. The workshops produce commercial,
high-standard products. These vocational opportunities offer interesting creative employment, enable the members to acquire
job related skills, and give them the opportunity to form social relationships with co-workers. The beautiful and high standard products are based on market demands and are sold commercially. The fine artisanship engenders a sense of pride and self-esteem among the members.



Expansions of Rehabilitative Workshops Project- The Beit Elisha workshops have outgrown their premises. The workshops are situated in old pre-fabricated buildings that are spread out around the Kibbutz. Beit Elisha plans to found a workshop center and to expand the workshops in order to be able to absorb more members.

Therapeutic Stables - This project includes workshops for the members of Beit Elisha, as well as therapeutic horseback riding for members of Beit Elisha and Tuvia. The Beit Elisha members with guidance work in the stable learn to take care of the horses and ride. Beit Elisha has found that working and riding the horses has a therapeutic effect on many members with physical and mental disabilities.



Friday College – This program offers six hours a week of multidisciplinary courses in the humanities, arts and society for adults with special needs. The students learn new ideas, concepts and language and broaden their horizons by studying diverse subjects such as geography, English, art, drama, music, anatomy etc.
